Pete Wentz & Ashlee Simpson Split!?!

In almost every blog, there is room for some sort of celebrity gossip. This time, it's my turn.

Ashlee Simpson, pop artist and actress, had filed for divorce from Pete Wentz, musician who was a bass player in Fall Out Boy, on Wednesday, February 9. They were together for 3 years when they announced the divorce.

Simpson claims that she and Wentz remain friends and that raising their 2-year old son, Bronx Mowgli, will still be their top priority. Simpson also states that she wants joint legal custody for Bronx, so that he can spend a good amount of time with each parent.

MTV provided some details "behind the divorce", as the article's title says. The two are on speaking terms, yet claiming that they have just merely "grown apart" from each other as of recently. Wentz's constant touring and new musical project, called Black Cards, has played a role in the split as well. "After Bronx was born, Ashlee made a conscious decision to get out of the business, but Pete's heart was in music so he kept touring and that became a big issue in their relationship,"says an unnamed source who knows Simpson and Wentz personally.

The Bassline

This, thankfully, isn't the typical Hollywood break-up that you see on magazines and front pages of internet news sources. Though there are people who thrive on the downfall of certain celebrities, it's good to see that they are still on talking terms and good friends.
